Imagine reading the terms of service of Firefox, whatever slight change they might bring, and thinking "yeah, I'll move to Chrome to protect myself, that'll show them!".

What comes after stupidity?

Haha, that's not how it works.

Apparently it only impacts officially compiled versions. Guess I'll just stay away from those? I run librewolf anyway and that aside I'm on Linux where officially compiled versions aren't even the norm. Chrome is definitely not my answer

Who is this blogger? What is this site?

Based on the name, looks like it’s for beta males

Sure, they'll move to a browser that has even worse TOS, yeah.

On what planet does that make any sense???

I moved to Waterfox recently. Google Chrome, hell no.
